"Why do you practice ......?"

Of course, it is to kill all the demons and monsters in the world and be a hero to eliminate harm for the people!

Seeing this line of words, Shi Xiaohan replied without thinking in his mind.

Since Shi Xiaohan's great-grandparents, the Shi family has been an official in the Exorcism Division for almost generations.

Perhaps because of the influence of her family, Shi Xiaohan has always regarded "killing ghosts" as her mission - she enjoys the sense of accomplishment of cutting ghosts into ashes, the worship and gratitude of the people, and the praise and praise of others.

This is the motivation for her practice.

It sounds simple, immature, and even a little superficial.

But for a seventeen-year-old girl immersed in fantasy, it seems very real.

Then, Shi Xiaohan turned the pamphlet back a page.

This page is a note written by her grandfather many years ago.

Shi Xiaohan's grandfather's name is Shi Qingsong, who once broke through the third realm "Nai He Bridge" at the age of thirty-five, and at the same time awakened the supernatural power "Lingxi"——

This supernatural ability can greatly improve his comprehension of martial arts.

As long as there is a famous teacher's guidance, you can "have a good heart, and you can understand it at one point".

And Shi Xiaohan's grandmother, Zhao Chanyi from the Zhao clan in Youzhou, obtained the supernatural power "Golden Cicada Shelling" - with this supernatural power, she was able to create an illusion stand-in in battle to resist a deadly attack from the enemy for herself.

As for Shi Xiaohan's father, Shi Lei......

Unfortunately, he wasn't able to gain any supernatural powers when he broke through the realm.

Therefore, he has been ridiculed as the "waste" of the family.

Shi Xiaohan naturally didn't want to be a "waste" like his father.

Therefore, for the matter of breaking the realm, she is both looking forward to it and nervous.

“…… Clear goals, indomitable courage...... I don't think I'm short of any of that......"

"It's just, where am I going to find a 'strong emotional shock'?"

"Could it be that before I was promoted, I still had to find an excuse to quarrel with my father?"

She suddenly felt a little dazed.

…………

For the next few days, Gu Xu had been quietly staying in the house to cultivate.

The "Changming Pill" brought by Shi Xiaohan this time was enough for him to use it for many days.

In this way, he can concentrate on his cultivation and not have to run around all day doing tasks for meritorious deeds.

At the same time, he didn't forget to continue to improve the "Ghost Slayer" and "Eclipse" spells.

After he advanced to the second realm, he had been trying to make subtle modifications to the runes of the "Ghost Slaying Talisman" so that it could hold more true elements and burst out with more majestic energy in an instant.

He has also been using the method of "solar eclipse" to repeatedly temper his divine sense, so as to solve the problem of excessive consumption of spiritual power.

Time flies.

The golden sunlight crept into the narrow courtyard at dawn and slipped away at dusk.

In the bleak autumn wind, the ginkgo tree in the yard was quietly shaved bald again.

The leaves fall to the ground and form a carpet of yellow.

Before I knew it, three days had passed.

October 15 has finally arrived.

…………

According to legend, there are three immortals in the fairy world: heaven, earth and water, called "three officials".

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the official blessed the earth, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, the local official forgave the sin, and on the fifteenth day of the tenth month, the water official relieved the misfortune.

Therefore, on the day of the lower Yuan Festival on October 15, the officials and people of Daqi will set up a fasting and Jiao to worship the ancestors and pray for the water officials to solve their problems.

In these worship and blessing activities, the people of Jiaodong are especially pious.

After all, Jiaodong has always been a province with many disasters.

In the first year of Tianxing, all the residents of several villages near Laoshan in Laizhou Prefecture were slaughtered, and no one survived, and the whereabouts of the murderer are still unknown.

During the period from the sixth year of Tianxing to the eighth year of Tianxing, there was another major drought in the Qingzhou Prefecture area.

For three whole years, not a drop of rain fell, the rice fields dried up, and the people were struggling to make a living.

When the people of Jiaodong finally recovered from the drought, the Nine Baby Snake Demon began to harm everywhere again, causing countless people to be displaced and their families destroyed.

In the face of natural disasters and evil spirits, mortals have no ability to resist.

That's why they pin their hopes on the ethereal immortals.

However, for Gu Xu, October 15 means another thing-

That is the opening of the "realm of the Dao" of the Shenji Battalion.

Chu Fengge, the chief examiner of his promotion assessment, once said to him that the "Realm of Dao" is a mysterious fantasy realm constructed by the saint-level powerhouses of the Great Qi Dynasty with earth-shattering power, which can match two monks from far away to the south and north of the world together, conduct friendly exchanges and exchanges, and rank according to the victory or defeat.

The top monks in each quarter can receive additional rewards.

I've heard that there are a lot of good things in the headquarters of the Exorcist Division.

So for these rewards, Gu Xu is very much looking forward to them.

So, when the sun had just risen, Gu Xu held the "Divine Machine Token" in his hand, sat cross-legged on the bamboo mat, and closed his eyes.

His consciousness sank into darkness.

And in his ears, a cold and loud, male and female voice sounded-

"Welcome to the realm of the Dao!"

…………

Meanwhile.

Luojing City, the headquarters of the Exorcism Division, the retreat room.

Shangguan Jin was sitting quietly on a futon, his eyes closed, and his "Divine Machine Token" tightly held in his hand, waiting for the matching result of the "Dao Realm".

A quarter of an hour later, a line of text appeared in her field of vision—

[At present, there are no other Fourth Realm monks participating in the "Dao Realm" for the time being. Would you like to proclaim yourself the True Yuan and compete with the Second Realm Monks? 】

Shangguan Jin was stunned for two seconds.

She knew that the "Shenji Battalion" was still in the preparatory stage, and the number of people was not large.

But she didn't expect that she couldn't even match an opponent of the same realm.

At this moment, she seemed to experience the invincible loneliness.

"I do."

She stared at the line and replied without thinking.

Competing with the Second Realm Cultivator was undoubtedly her advantage.

Even if she needed to self-proclaim her cultivation, she felt that she could easily suppress the rookies in the second realm with her skills and experience.

This competition is simply a benefit given to her for nothing.

Then, out of the darkness, a quaint ring emerged.

It looked lonely, as if it were floating in the starry sky.

And on the steps next to the ring, knives, swords, daggers, bows, crossbows, paper and pens and other weapons are neatly placed.

Like the "Pot of Remembrance", the "Realm of the Dao" is also an illusion that only allows the divine consciousness to enter, and the monks cannot bring their weapons into it from the outside world.

In order to solve this problem, the saints very thoughtfully prepared substitutes in the illusion for the monks to use in the competition.

Of course, these weapons are just ordinary iron and do not have any special properties or effects.

But it's enough.

…………

At this moment, Shangguan Jin saw his opponent's code name on the side wall of the ring-

"Suzaku".

"What a bad guy!" She stroked her long hair and sighed in her heart.
